African Protea waterproof puffer vest
Hands up if you remember this print! To celebrate 5 years of Scribbler we have brought out a total throw back to one of our very first Scribbler coats ever - the African Protea. So many of you asked for us to bring this print back, so here it is - in the form of a gorgeous waterproof puffer vest. Perfect for those in-between season days!
This puffer vest is conscious fashion at its best - recycled plastic has been used to make the waterproof outer fabric as well as the inner filler. Don't want your vest with a hood - well, just zip it off - easy as. And pockets - did we mention the pockets? There are LOADS (some hidden too!). Please note - the base colour of this vest is white/off white.
Tell me quick:
Not quite freezing, not quite warm outside? Scribbler's waterproof puffer vest is the perfect outfit choice for those in-between days. Super practical features will have you reaching for this gorgeous vest a lot!
All the deets:
- Waterproof to 10 000mm (high) and treated with DWR (Durable Water Repellent) means you won't get wet in a shower with water beading off you like a duck's back.
- Printed layer of fabric (100% recycled) and filler (85% recycled) is made from recycled plastic - this is feel good fashion all the way. Scribbler is so proud to be able to offer this to you.
- Zip-off removable hood for those days when you don't want a hood!
- Reflective chest logo so that cars and others can see you in low light.
- Two-way front zipper (YKK - 'cos they're the best) - so you can ride your bike/horse or sit in your car/a bus comfortably
- Two hidden zippered side pockets and 4 internal pockets (2 zippered) to keep your keys or wallet safe, and... pockets! Who doesn't love pockets?! Including a headphone jack if you need one!
- Chin guard to protect your chin from the gorgeous yellow zip
- Fit is true to size
Rae wears a size 8 (S) and Lan wears a size 16 (2XL).
Sizing: our styles are all slim fit, but check our sizing guide for help. Sizes range from 8 (S)-20 (4XL).
GARMENT CARE:
To clean your vest we recommend washing with Nikwax Tech Wash, then place in a tumble drier on a low setting to restore the quilting. See our garment care guide here.
We know that sometimes when you're online shopping, you need to ask a couple of questions, so here are some that we get regularly. Hope these help. :)
An item is sold out - will you bring out any more like this?
We don't reprint any of our fabrics/styles in order to keep them unique and special. This way, you and your friends won't have the exact same coat! :)
Why are so many items sold out?
We are a small business and don't work in the same way as larger brands and companies. We take our time developing new styles and like to ensure everything is 'just so' before pressing 'play' on any production. We don't follow trends and try to create items that are timeless, beautiful and functional. We also don't do large production runs to ensure items are kept special and unique. You might need to wait a little longer for our new ranges, but we believe it is worth it!
Where can I try on your products?
We don't have our own stores, but we have some amazing stockists around New Zealand that have selected Scribbler products in stock. Take a look at this page to see if there is a store near you.
I have bought the wrong size - can I exchange for a different size?
If it's been less than 30 days, you haven't worn the item (it is in new, unworn condition) and it has all its original swing tags attached we will gladly do a size exchange (stock permitting). Please follow instructions within our refunds/exchange policy here: https://scribblergear.com/pages/returns-policy or start the returns process now: https://scribblergear.com/a/return
I am unsure which size to order... can you help?
We know online shopping can sometimes feel hard when it comes to sizing. To help with this, we have developed comprehensive size guides with measurements for each of our sizes and styles to give you as much detail as possible. You can find this here: https://scribblergear.com/pages/raincoat-sizing-chart
Can I see prices in my local currency?
You can see prices in AUD, CAD, EUR, GBP and USD by following these instructions:
Personal Computer/Tablet/iPad: In the top right hand corner it shows NZD with a small arrow next to it. Click on the arrow and you will see options to change the currency shown. Easy as!
Mobile Phone: Scroll to the very bottom of the page and you will see text: New Zealand (NZD $) with a small arrow. Click on the arrow and you will see options to change currency.

What is the best way to care for my Scribbler product?
Great question! We create products to last. Please refer to the care label within your product for instructions on how to best care for your Scribbler product. We have put together the following guide to help you look after your Scribbler coat. Read here: https://scribblergear.com/pages/how-to-care-for-your-waterproof-jacket
Are the colours and print placements on screen the same as in person?
We try our very best to colour match how garments are shown on our website, however, we cannot guarantee that they are a perfect match. Not all monitors show colours in the same way.
Many of our styles have repeat patterns all over. We cannot guarantee that these will always look exactly the same as in website photography. The placement of fabric for cutting will vary, making each item unique.
Do you sell gift vouchers?
Yes indeed we do! You can buy vouchers in the following denominations: $50, $75, $100, $200 and $250. Buy here: https://scribblergear.com/collections/the-scribbler-online-gift-card/products/gift-card
Can I send an item as a gift?
You sure can! Just ensure you enter the recipients address as the shipping address and your address as the billing address. Ask us about gift wrapping - kiaora@scribblergear.com
Can Scribbler cancel an order I've made?

Customer Reviews
New ZealandGreat Puffer Jacket
Beautifully designed and well made. Got compliments the first day I wore it. Another lovely addition to my Scribbler jacket collection.
New ZealandProtea puffer vest
Excellent service, well packaged in compostable bag. Beautiful vest, well made. Generous size, normally size 14 in jackets, bought size 12 which fits comfortably over a shirt. If wanting to wear with a heavier garment underneath would need to go to larger size.
